Run a 17-day election campaign in a retro pixel RPG. Dodge scandals and win!
"Hinata Prefecture is going nowhere. Time to change that!"
You quit your job at the prefectural office to run for governor. Your rivals: Gozo Gonda, the incumbent chasing a fourth term, and Hikari Arai, a popular former TV announcer. You have 17 days. Walk every corner of a pixel-art prefecture and grab the win on election night!
■ CAMPAIGN ON FOOT
• Shake hands, give stump speeches and put up your posters
• Every area cares about different issues: farming in the village, jobs at the industrial park
• Win the trust of the farm co-op, fishery co-op, chamber of commerce and labor union, and earn their endorsements
• Ride the campaign car, take a break at the hot spring or the corner café
• Scheduled events: public debates, a live TV debate, the hot-spring festival, a college fair and more
■ GOOD DEED OR TRAP?
All kinds of things happen while you're out on the street.
• Help an old woman carry her bags... and it turns out she's the mother of a local power broker
• Break up a street fight... and the kids end up putting up your posters
• Help a young woman who feels unwell... and a tabloid prints a "midnight tryst" photo!?
• An envelope stuffed with cash, followers for sale, a suspicious petition, a dinner invitation from the construction lobby...
Good intentions can backfire, and turning something down can pay off big.
■ NAIL-BITING ELECTION NIGHT
At 8 PM on election day, the TV returns begin. Votes pile up area by area until someone is projected the winner. Win big and you're called the moment the polls close.
■ FEATURES

• Auto-save: pick up right where you left off

Seventeen days. One prefecture. Your campaign starts now.
